Chapter 135: Waiting

On that day, after Steward Zhang saw a woman who looked like a person he liked on the flower boat, he went to the water every night to look for it, but only that side, he never saw it again.

The water ghosts are also used to his unrequited love, and Landlord Liu is also concentrating on cultivation, but he asks about it.

It also happened to create an opportunity for the meeting between Steward Zhang and Taoist Liu Qing.

The pill that Daoist Liu Qing gave to Steward Zhang can stop the mutation, and he can leave this place with his body.

Steward Zhang was disappointed by the concubine, and his love with the concubine was like a wound, forever engraved in his heart. He thought that with time, he could slowly heal.

But when I saw the similar appearance of the concubine again, I realized that everything was not forgotten.

He originally wanted to take the pill and go to the shore to find a concubine.

However, after Landlord Liu was pulled out of the scales, he saw his desire.

Since the soul is damaged, even if you find a concubine, how can you give her anything?

It is said that love is selfish, and Steward Zhang thought of the idea that other water ghosts gave him before: let the reincarnation of the concubine drown, and then they can live together again. If Landlord Liu is no longer there, as long as he designs it properly, he can become the new owner underwater.

In the end, he conspired with the person in charge, Song Huwei, and became the new master.

At that time, he planned to introduce the reincarnation of the concubine into the water.

Time passed quickly, and he peeked at the shore from the water every day.

A few months ago, when Xu Yaru and her sister drove past the reservoir, he finally saw hope.

At the instigation of the fake Su Xuanke, that is, Chen Xuanming, the two worked together to cause the car to have an accident and crash into the guardrail, and finally the car fell into the reservoir.

Her sister was sent up by Xu Yaru, but she drowned in the lake.

Steward Zhang used a blindfold to replace Xu Yaru's body and create the illusion of a car accident.

The real corpse and soul were taken to the bottom by Steward Zhang.

Chen Xuanming helped Steward Zhang do things, while secretly probing the underwater past, Steward Zhang was carried away by the sudden joy, chose a date, and married Xu Yaru.

At this time, Su Xuanke and we went underwater, destroying everything and waking up Steward Zhang's sweet dream.

When he saw that the secret under the water was revealed, he hated the Taoist priest and could only choose to let the person in charge become the new master.

But he also understood that he could no longer protect Xu Yaru, so he could only let go and give her freedom.

Speaking of which, we have come to the old Qingtan Town, Steward Zhang has become weaker and weaker, he said with a wry smile: "When I ate the landlord Liu, I let the person in charge eat the Jiao brain, and let him practice Taoism, inheriting the Gu worm, but I didn't expect that in the end, evil will be rewarded, and I was killed by this Gu worm leech." ”

Then he endured the pain, looked at Xu Ruyun, and said in a choked voice: "I am so selfish that I killed you." I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope you can get out of here and be reincarnated. ”

Then, he looked to the side and said, "Go east from Qingtan Town, climb over a mountain, and there is a cliff on the steep slope of the mountain. On the cliff, there is an old locust tree. How old it is, people don't know anymore, but they know that it hides from the tall trees behind it, and for the sake of the sun, it can only take risks and choose to stick out of the cliff. The tree was not high, but it was strong, and it was not broken. Every summer, the old locust tree will be full of locust flowers, proving that it is still alive. To this day, I still remember the fragrance of locust flowers and the sound of raindrops. I wanted to go to her, but I didn't have the courage. I'm not even as good as a locust tree. ”

At this time, Steward Zhang's whole body had turned black, and his hands and feet had turned into black water, which was slowly diluted.

He looked at Xu Yaru and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

Then completely disappear into the water.

Xu Yaru was stunned there, then covered her face and slowly squatted down.

I don't know if she is pitiful to Steward Zhang, or to pity the concubine, or to herself.

I just knew we had to leave.

At this time, the fluorescence in the surrounding aquatic plants slowly fell off and flew in the direction of Tulou.

This proves that Senior Sister Xuanji has already begun to collect spiritual energy and refine Xuanji beads.

Countless fluorescents, like fireflies, converged on the tulou.

I pulled Xu Yaru and said, "Sister, it's time for us to go." ”

Xu Yaru calmed down, stood up, looked at the fluorescence in the water, and asked, "What's wrong here?" ”

I said calmly, "The story is over, and this place will eventually be in ruins." Let's go. ”

Xu Yaru nodded at me, and then said, "Let's go to the cliff and have a look." ”

I thought to myself, could it be that you are really the reincarnation of that little concubine, so emotional?

But I didn't refuse.

Xu Yaru took the pill and went ashore from the east side of the reservoir with me to the cliff.

On the way, we each thought about it, but we didn't say anything.

We walked through the dense forest and came to the edge of the cliff.

It's just that I didn't expect that there was a person sitting there.

She was wearing a Luo skirt from the Republic of China, holding her legs, leaning against the locust tree, looking at the moon in the sky.

I thought that Xu Yaru was not the reincarnation of that concubine at all, and the real concubine was still waiting here.

Xu Yaru walked over and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?" ”

The woman turned her head, her face really looked very similar to Xu Yaru, she looked at us, first startled, and then saw that we had no shadow, guessed that we were also souls, so she nodded, and then said, "I'm waiting for someone." ”

At this time, it was already summer, but the old locust tree, presumably dead, had become a dead tree, and was lying there.

I felt a touch of desolation.

Xu Yaru leaned over, also sat next to her, and said, "Don't wait. ”

The concubine shook her head and said, "He will come." ”

Xu Yaru sighed lightly and said, "He's no longer there." ”

When the concubine heard this, she turned her head to look at us again and simply sighed.

It didn't seem to matter, just tears, which had poured out.

Xu Yaru then talked about Steward Zhang's affairs in general, and finally said: "He asked us to bring a sentence: I'm sorry!" ”

The concubine shook her head, her cheeks filled with tears, and then stroked the dead trunk of the locust tree.

The concubine said softly: "I was originally a cheap life, and I was sold to the Liu family as an item. is nominally a concubine, but she is a better-looking maid. I have resigned myself to my fate and have lived this life in peace. But I didn't want to be here, falling off the cliff, or God's favor, so that I couldn't die, and I met him under the cliff. At that time, it was raining heavily, and the surrounding area was full of cold wind, but under the canopy, I felt warm and felt the beauty of the world for the first time. It's a pity that we will eventually become strangers.

The high walls of Liu's Mansion blocked all my fantasies, but I didn't want to, on that night of wild cats eating people, he actually stood up and guarded my door.

He was weak at that time, but he was so brave, and my heart was ignited again.

I think this is the man who can protect me for the rest of my life.

Later, he became the steward, and we got in close contact and became more and more affectionate.

I proposed that I elope with him, I don't care, whether there is a rich life or not, I just need to be able to protect my life.

But on the night of the lantern festival, he actually flinched.

He came to me and told me that we wouldn't have an end.

In that case, why did the past ignite my heart?

Since Yang Shi can't be husband and wife, let's go to Huangquan together. I made an agreement with him to wait for him here.

I jumped off a cliff and became a lonely ghost, waiting here.

I think he used to be so brave in the past, and one day, he will be brave again and come here to find me.

But spring and autumn came, cold came and summer, and the locust trees had died of old age, but he never appeared. ”

Speaking of this, the concubine suddenly looked at us and said, "But tonight, I finally feel that he is back, and the brave man in my heart, the man I can entrust, has finally come to the appointment." ”

Speaking of this, although she had a smile on her face, she couldn't stop the tears.

I approached the locust tree, it was like the love between Steward Zhang and the concubine, which had long withered.

It's just that in the patriarch's codex notes, I saw a small spell of dead wood and spring, and then carved a charm with my fingertips and recited the spell lightly.

I saw that on the withered locust tree, green leaves slowly grew, and then full of buds, and finally bloomed in the moonlight.

The concubine looked at everything in front of her, and finally couldn't help it, hugged the locust tree, smelled the flowers, and cried.

It takes a year for flowers to bloom and fall, and the concubine has been waiting here for nearly a hundred years.

And who is waiting for me?

I thought of Zhao Xiaoxue, who was still guarding my body by the reservoir, and suddenly, three bells rang in my ears.
